Why invest in precious metals?

Why is a diversification into physical gold at this particular juncture in history considered so important?

Physical precious metals hold no 3rd party liability (unlike any other monetary asset) and considered the only true safe collateral in times of crisis.

Rather than the precious metal being the pre-eminent monetary inflation proof trade, it’s quite simply crisis insurance and a wealth preservation vehicle.

When things are uncertain in the World macroeconomic environment – such as debt bubbles, controversial World leaders and trade wars – gold is an important part of one’s overall asset portfolio as an insurance policy as it has been historically.
